Fast approaching is Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), held this year from May 6 - 10, 2002 at San Jose's Convention Center in San Jose, CA.

WWDC pre-registration is well underway, and offers some very cool pre-registration incentive packages. For starters, Apple has extended the early bird discount registration period. Those registering through April 19, 2002 pay $1,295 for the conference, a savings of $300 off the normal price of $1,595.

Additionally, Apple is offering a special WWDC 2002 Getting Started bundle through April 19, 2002. Aimed at developers new to the Macintosh platform, the Getting Started bundle includes attendance at WWDC 2002, a full-year Apple Developer Connection Select membership, a discount on one Apple Macintosh system (including 1 CPU and 1 monitor), and more. And this goodie-packed bundle comes in at only $1,695.
